“Two diplomats of the French embassy in Azerbaijan were declared “persona non grata”, Azerbaijan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov said at a press conference on the results of 2023, APA reports.
“I want to mention one point that two days ago we sent a note of protest to the French embassy. It was stated that there are serious facts about those people in the state bodies of Azerbaijan, that is, it was a summon for investigation. Which is, the consent of France was required for this investigation. If the French state was convinced of the innocence of its diplomats, then it should have responded to our appeal. In such a case, the ambassador was invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and they were given 48 hours to leave the country,” said the minister.
